They made me kill thousands, but I only have one target now. The Radch are conquerors to be feared - resist and they'll turn you into a 'corpse soldier' - one of an army of dead prisoners animated by a warship's AI mind. Whole planets are conquered by their own people. The colossal warship called The Justice of Toren has been destroyed - but one ship-possessed soldier has escaped the devastation.

It took me about 150 pages to get used to everyone being referred to as "she" regardless of gender, but by the end of the book it felt more natural. I love that the Radchaai are largely an androgynous ...
I have been getting yelled at to read this book for years. I tried, really, but I just could not get into this. I finally decided to throw in the white towel and call it a DNF. I was told that the book gets better, but I am not in the mood to suffer through trying to get to better. At 50 percent m...
